EVAL-L9960/L9960T

Introduction

The EVAL-L9960 and EVAL-L9960T are evaluation boards designed to provide the user a

platform for the L9960 and L9960T, that are integrated H-Bridge (Twin for L9960T) for

resistive and inductive loads for automotive applications, such as throttle control actuators

or exhaust gas recirculation control valves.

The board offers all the main input/output capabilities needed to drive a DC motor properly

and to provide diagnostic functionalities.

Full diagnostic is available through SPI. By using SPI communication, it is possible to

program L9960 and L9960T while the application is running (e.i. set the current limitation).

A dedicated pin array allows connecting easily a SPC5 discovery+ board and the EVAL-

L9960/L9960T. In association with the discovery board SPC560P-DISP a dedicated SW

allows controlling a motor control application by using a PC via a USB port.

The device is an integrated H-Bridge for resistive and inductive loads for automotive

applications, such as throttle control actuators or exhaust gas recirculation control valves.

The driving strategy is enhanced by configurable PWM / DIR pins as IN1/IN2.The H-Bridge

contains integrated free-wheel diodes. In case of freewheeling conditions, the low side or

the high side transistor is switched on in parallel of its diode to reduce power dissipation.

The integrated Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows device parameters adjustment and to

control all operating modes and read out diagnostic information.

Detailed failure diagnostics on each channel is provided via SPI: short circuit to battery,

short circuit to ground, short circuit overload, over temperature. Open-load can be detected

in ON condition, for the widest application ranges.

The EVAL-L9960 and EVAL-L9960T boards are suitable for both beginners and expert

users working in standalone mode connected with any control system or combined with all

SPC5 Discovery+ boards through a computer graphic interface or though embedded

application examples.

The board is compatible with both 5V and 3.3V control systems
